| Description: | Château Monbousquet is an 81-acre estate in the St.-Émilion appellation. It became a Grand Cru Classé A in the 2006 St.-Émilion classification. The estate dates back centuries, and wine was first produced in the 19th century. By the early 20th century it was in disrepair, but Daniel Querre bought it in 1945 and made restorations and improved the wine. In 1993 Monbousquet was bought by Gerard Perse, a former professional cyclist and supermarket magnate who now owns numerous wine estates, including Pavie, Pavie-Decesse and La Clusière. Influential consultant Michel Rolland has been involved with the winemaking since Perse bought the estate. Vineyards are planted to 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. About 80,000 bottles are produced annually. The second label is Angelique de Monbousquet. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that since Perse acquired the property, Monbousquet "has been one of the stars of its appellation as well as one of Bordeaux's most exotic offerings.". Actual bottle from our inventory is pictured. These bottles are in excellent condition, from their original wooden case and all fills are into the neck.
